It is exceptionally momentous for Budapest to host a major collection of
Russian avant-garde art
from a single museum, especially when the works in question have never been seen together before outside Russia. The
Hungarian National Gallery
is proud to welcome forty outstanding works of art from the avant-garde collection of the Ekaterinburg Museum of Fine Arts, produced by such notable Russian artists as Kazimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzky, Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov.
The museum's collection features outstanding
chefs d'ouvre
from almost every movement of the Russian avant-garde, including
Cubism
,
Cubo-Futurism
,
Neo-Primitivism
,
Suprematism
and
Constructivism
.
The exhibition at the
Hungarian National Gallery
leads visitors through all the major movements of Russian avant-garde art from the 1910s and 1920s, while contemporary documents bring to life the stormy events of that period of history.
